2012-09-18, Tuesday :: SMPlayer adware

posted by Compn
An MPlayer user notified me about the SMPlayer link that we had on our download page. The SMPlayer installer was trying to install adware and toolbars. The MPlayer project does not condone adware/spyware at all. If you have installed SMPlayer via the web installer, we urge you to uninstall all of the spyware that may have been installed.

When I linked the SMPlayer installer , it was 8mb and contained nothing but MPlayer and SMPlayer gui. The link had been changed and I failed to notice. Any users affected have my sincere apologies.

versions between weekly and monthly we hope to be forgiven for jumping ahead to 1.1. This release is intended to be compatible with the recent FFmpeg 0.11 release. We hope it will be useful to distros and other users relying on FFmpeg 0.11. Everyone else is encouraged to follow Subversion HEAD to always get the latest features and bug fixes. You might still want to read the release announcement to get a short summary of any bigger changes and improvements. Among the bigger news is that we found a maintainer for the X11 gmplayer GUI, so those holding out on it against our earlier recommendations will get a lot of bug fixes. There is also support for more subtitle types (Bluray, DVB, DVB closed-caption for example), many improvements to -vo gl including output of 10 bit video, very basic but usable OpenGL ES support and much better SDL support which makes it a usable choice on OSX (particularly on older PowerPC variants much faster than corevideo or quartz). MPlayer will now also try much harder to handle intermittent network failures, for example trying to reconnect. As part of the code cleanup efforts, the internal libfaad2 copy has been removed since the FFmpeg decoder is working well. Also the internal mp3lib copy is no longer used by default since the many alternatives (FFmpeg, libmpg123, libmad) avoid its recurring issues like incorrect decoding with newer compilers. However it can still be forced at runtime for easier tracking of regressions. Please do not rely on this since it will be removed in the future. If you do not actually need it consider disabling it at compile time with --disable-mp3lib. As a first for this release, the tarballs are available in two variants: compressed with xz and compressed with gzip. Please get the xz variant if you can to save bandwidth, the gzip version is for everyone that cannot use it. Should you never have encountered xz compressed files, newer versions of tar can uncompress it via "tar xJf MPlayer1.1.tar.xz". MPlayer 1.1 can be downloaded by HTTP (xz, 11 MB), FTP (xz, 11 MB), HTTP (gzip, 17 MB) or FTP (gzip, 17 MB) xz MD5SUM: ac7bf1cfedc1c5c24bfc83107eefb1d9 xz SHA1SUM: 913a4bbeab7cbb515c2f43ad39bc83071b2efd75

2012-02-17, Friday :: Playing back BluRay discs

posted by Compn
Correction MPlayer does support encrypted BluRay playback, though not all steps are handled by MPlayer itself. The two alternative methods use the URL schemes bd:// (always supports decryption, but you need the key for each and every disk in ~/.dvdcss/KEYDB.cfg and only works well with very simple BluRays, similar to dvd:// vs. dvdnav://) and br:// (uses libbluray and should support the same as VideoLAN in the link below but that is untested). End correction MPlayer needs some documentation on how to play encrypted discs. Patches are welcome. VideoLAN users can follow the instructions here | Mirror I have not tested, but it looks like it works on Mac OS X, Linux and Windows. Thanks to whoever created this and hopefully no one will have to rip the discs to a hard drive before playing now.

2011-01-30, Sunday :: MPlayer 1.0rc4 released

posted by the release team
Yes, we can! MPlayer 1.0rc4 continues the tradition of long overdue, but better late than never releases. It has been tested thoroughly to work with the FFmpeg 0.6 branch. It will be useful to distros and other users relying on FFmpeg 0.6. To get the latest and greatest in features and bug fixes, Subversion HEAD should be a better fit. 1.0rc4 once again adds a slew of new binary codecs and leverages all the stuff added to FFmpeg. Notable additions are VP8 decoding, H.264 bug fixes and speedups, unencrypted Blu-ray support. Network streams can now be played through FFmpeg, there has been quite a bit of subtitle work and Ogg and Matroska demuxer defaults were switched to libavformat. The window position is now decided by the window manager. Our constant efforts to clean up the codebase continue as usual. A ton of compiler warnings disappeared and there have been refactorings all around. External library copies have been synchronized with upstream. The internal liba52 copy is gone and it is now possible to build against external libmpeg2 and libmpg123. MPlayer 1.0rc4 can be downloaded by HTTP or FTP.

A message from the creator of MPlayer, Arpi: Hi, It was exactly 10 years ago, that I've released first MPlayer version, v0.01: http://www1.mplayerhq.hu /MPlayer/old_stuff/releases/MPlayer-0.01.tar.gz Yes, f*cking 10 years!!!! Nov 11, 2000... Time goes on so fast... I want to thank you all for the contributions, patches, bugs, docs, testing etc. Especially Michael Niedermayer, Fabrice Bellard and Nick Kurshev, who made it to be the best & fastest open-source player! And sorry Nick, I made a big mistake rejecting your multithreaded patches. Unfortunatelly your idea came too early, nobody (at least me) thought that desktop PCs will ever have multiple CPUs... and now that even cheap notebooks and netbooks have multi-core CPUs, it would be very useful for HD playback... Also special thanks to Gabucino, Pontscho and LGB, for your support in the early days, when everybody thought i'm mad, working on video player for linux... A'rpi ps: Albeu, i'll never forgive your playtree patches :)

Just some random notes and changes. In SVN the lavf demuxer is now default for Matroska files. We are trying to fix the problems in it, so please report some bugs if you run into them. If you just want to undo this change, add the following to the end of your config file:
[extension.mkv] demuxer=mkv

MPlayer now has the ability to use FFmpeg's network code to access streams. Use mplayer ffmpeg://rtsp: //example.invalid/stream.mov syntax to try it. In general most users should be using SVN MPlayer, as rc3 is over a year old.

2010-05-30, Sunday :: MPlayer 1.0rc3 released

posted by the release team
Godot has arrived. 1.0rc3 was intended to be rolled out over a year ago, but got delayed again and again. Since it is designed to be compatible with the FFmpeg 0.5 branch, it will be useful to distros and other users still tracking said branch. Thus we are now publishing it even though it is outdated even before the day of its release. For general usage current Subversion snapshots should be a better fit, as many bug fixes and new features are available. This release adds support for a ton of new binary codecs and leverages all the stuff added to FFmpeg. Hardwareaccelerated video output over VDPAU is now possible, as is audio output through PulseAudio. MPlayer now runs natively on 64bit OS X, the Wii and on OS/2. We have switched to the libavformat MOV/MP4 demuxer to avoid maintaining the duplicate MOV/MP4 code. This breaks binary audio/video codecs with MOV/MP4 files. Please use '-demuxer mov' if you still require the binary decoders. Our constant efforts to clean up the codebase continue as usual. A ton of compiler warnings disappeared and there have been refactorings all around. External library copies

2009-02-20, Friday :: Video Acceleration and You

posted by Compn
There are several ways to speed up the playback of 1080 H.264 files in MPlayer. First is to use the newly added VDPAU output. It allows the newer Nvidia video cards to decode the video without using much CPU. It is in SVN MPlayer (Nvidia binary driver 180.37 or newer required), you can find known bugs and report bugs HERE. (Linux, Solaris and FreeBSD only) How to get the SVN version is described on the download page and snapshot tarballs are available as well. Second is to use MPlayer with the experimental multithreaded FFmpeg-mt branch, which allows you to use multiple cores/CPU. (all OS and CPU supported) To enable threading run mplayer -lavdopts threads=N file.mkv where N is the number of threads you want to use. NOTE: FFmpeg-mt has problems with packed b-frames. A Windows build of MPlayer using FFmpeg-mt can be found at http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php. Third is to use the multithreaded CoreAVC codec with the CoreAVC-for-linux project. The CoreAVC decoder costs $15 USD. (Linux ONLY)(Windows users only need this PATCH) Fourth, FFmpeg has added some optimizations from the x264 project. To fully utilize these you will need to make sure a recent version of YASM is installed and detected by the latest SVN MPlayer when compiling. Fifth, using -lavdopts skiploopfilter=all:fast=1 may cause artifacts, but will allow you to play larger files in realtime. (all OS and CPU supported) (use -lavdopts skipframe=nonref:skiploopfilter=all:fast=1 for even more speedup, skipframe also works with VDPAU.) There is also a rejected PATCH which adds support for
